About

I’m Katie, a design leader and maker based in Columbus, OH. I’m a big believer in play, always trust my gut, and find joy in turning chaos into simple, beautiful solutions.


My work is grounded in creative direction, identity design, and building visual systems that resonate and flex by design. I’m at my best where thinking meets making, and pride myself in building creative environments where teams feel energized, confident, and unafraid to try something new.
